I just checked with the supervisor at Navajo National Monument. Unfortunately, they are having budget cuts so the chances of having a pre-season trip out to Keet Seel are slim. Last year we could have easily made such an arrangement, but this year they will only do it if they can get someone (one of their rangers or other staff) to volunteer. The chances are higher if we were to make it a day-hike.

So... as it stands, for a weekend backpacking trip, I can reserve slots for just about any weekend from May 21st through the closing in September. They will allow up to 20 people per day up to the ruins. Once we get a good idea which weekend works best for the group, I'll reserve our slots.

There are two campgrounds at the park that are free. The plan would be to head up Friday night, camp at the park and head down to Keet Seel Saturday morning.

I know that I've put up a lot of options but I thought that more at this point is better. If it looks like an early date and a late date are very popular, we could maybe reserve slots for both.

If this has been on your list, now's the time to start planning!

I voted for Memorial Day weekend, since I definately know I can get off from work, before my summer job begins.
I have always wanted to see Keet Seel and I have heard that the campground is beautiful.

Sounds like a great hike. I looked it up on the net and the ruins sound pretty awesome.
Hope this one developes into something.

Early or late would be best, since it'll get blazing hot in the middle of the summer. I voted 23rd-24th, but almost any of those weekends would work for us.

While the response to the poll was rather underwhelming to say the least, I do want to thank those that responded for participating in our site. I will start a thread to organize the trip on Memorial Day weekend.
